I think they said they were headed for Florida....and that is why I was thinking it may have been northern Fla.

Supposedly they were headed to Florida "to retire" but never made it.......

........The next morning, as they are overtaken on a two-lane country road by an old pickup truck, the cowboy hat-wearing driver says, in a thick Louisiana or Cajun accent, "Hey there, look at them two". The other man in the truck reaches for a shotgun hanging in the back window, saying they will "scare the hell out of 'em". As they pass Billy on his left, the passenger lazily aims the shotgun out the window, and says, "want me to blow your brains out?" while the driver laughs. Without looking at them, Billy raises his middle finger........

Not a good move. Cheap movie that grossed a small fortune, who knew?

I highly recommend New Orleans.

Mind you, it's a dumpy town, but it's gotta be the coolest dumpy town. Worth going to just for the food. Awesome vibe.

New Orleans is what you make of it. I've been a few times now and did it "low class" and "high class". Low class was fun because there's nothing like throwing em back around a bunch of drunks and beads and music. The higher class though brings the food element which is unique and god damn delicious. I would seriously consider NO gumbo as my last meal.

Bourbon street days are wayyy behind me now though. During Mardi Gras that street is next level disgusting, holy crap. I'm not even joking when I say thinking of the smell and sights makes me gag.

Moral of the story...

Never flip off a redneck literally riding shotgun in an old P/U...

You are aware of course that the "Easy Riders" were killed after they left NO.

Expect to pay a premium for Broncos tickets. People inherit the rights to season tickets there.

What about Saints?

Not exactly an easy ride for the Brownies except for a very few, but oh the excitement of a new season!

I think I had just posted a thread on this like a week or so ago, no?

Most interesting potential "road trips" for me include Saints, Broncos, Oakland (though...I am going to be near Oakland in April...Napa Valley)

Ok, I didn't know you weren't allowed on it. Won't stop us if the timing is right on the game date.

Sure, no problem. I only mention it because there were kids and the like whose families seemed to attend a game with that idea in mind. Tampa is definitely a great little area though, especially if you are into craft beers. I'll most certainly be at the game!

Larry-I never drink and drive and I notoriously bitch about the way overpriced wines in restaurants that are usually 3Xs or more what I can get and take home from Specs or Total Wine. My wife won't even let me look at a wine list because the calculator automatically kicks into gear. So she then proceeds to order a Brandy Alexander with me always telling her I can take her to Shakes for a chocolate malt for 1/4 the price. It's an SOP joke between us because she knows I won't drink and drive nor pay the ridiculous restaurant price anyway if she took the wheel as DD. Every now and then I will order a beer because it's cheaper than her Alexander which she won't drink and drive with either.

Geezus... the AFCW and the NFCS?

Z's Naples crew heads to Tampa whenever the Browns play there. Should be able to hook you up. Depending on the date I might be up for that one as well.

Houston will be a slam dunk again... NOLA needs to be in the running as well. Been a while since I walked Bourbon St.

I'll come down- if you promise not to get the relatives involved.. 

@bob806 said:

I always wanted to go to Tampa Bay and have a few brews on that ship. I'm in, unless its a Sept or Oct game.

May be a road trip. Zombo will be in for sure...

Wife and I have a lifelong friend who owns a place near Venice, Fla. May have to make a visit with her of and see wife's sister and another friend in Jacksonville. Anyone know what tickets might cost to see Browns/Bucs in Tampa?

Shouldn't be too hateful Bill. If you want to make the trip- for sure let me know. My fellow season ticket holders son lives in Bellaire- with an open invite to come down anytime, Allegeant has cheapo nonstops from Dayton to Tampa. PLUS my fellow dear wine\booze aficionado, if you've never been. Bern's Steakhouse in Tampa https://www.bernssteakhouse.com/ has to be on your bucket list. Not only are the steaks fabulous cut to order, they feature the biggest wine list in the world. Not kidding, looks like a telephone book. Start with 150+ wines by the glass,  you can go from reasonable $20-30 buck a bottle stuff, anywhere in between- and if you really want to splurge well into the 4 figures, they have (or had) a magnum of 1945 Domaine Romanee Conti, and a double mag of 1837 Chateau Latour. The working wine cellar has more square footage than my house.

If you weren't kidding they definitely do not let you on that ship at any time sadly. Have some family that are even ticket holders and it's a very strict no. Tampa is beautiful though and it's a great stadium.

we sure do play the Charges alot

It's kind of weird, even with the advent of the rotation schedule, how little we've played certain teams. 

The Dolphins for instance, we've played them less than any other AFC foe. Only 17 meetings all time, and two of those were playoff games. They don't finish 4th a lot I suppose. We've actually played them less than the Saints.
